Hey there!  Happy summer - officially!

Over the next several podcasts, I'm going to be leaving you with a simple psalm.  I don't know if your summer is anything like mine - but not much of it is quiet. 

So here is Psalm 62:

And my favorite song version of it.  We had this version sung in our wedding almost 11 years ago..

Do you have rules that guide your life?  I do.  Justin Whitmel Earley asked the question "what are your life rules" on the gram the other week and I was able to answer right away. And these really do guide my life - although imperfectly - and always in need of improvement and grace. 

1. Love God
2.  Love Others
3. Seek Beauty
4.  Practice Hospitality
5.  Travel the World

Is anyone suffering?  Are these times full of maybe things we find hard to understand or we grapple with just because they are hard?

This conversation with Jaqueline Heider, women's ministry director (among other things) at Warren Baptist Church here in Augusta, is perfect for right now - when all of us are suffering in some way.  We talk about 1 Peter - kinda walk through the whole book and really concentrating on the 5th chapter.

Hi there!  Thanks for joining me and my friend Rachael Adams.  We are talking today about significance - how many of us long for having a large influence or just having ore significance to those we know. 
We talk about the little things in the Bible, a tiny verse in Zechariah and how God uses everything in our lives!

We met through the Deep Dive with Katie Orr
She podcasts over here
Her new book is here

Today I have a new friend joining me.  We started out doing some Enjoy God's Word conferences together.  But then I was going to be in her town and she invited me to eat some really good Mexican on her back porch.  I call that a win of an intro into new friendship.

She loves the Bible and she loves helping other women study the Bible.  You'll love this episode as we talk about a gospel rich passage in Titus.  Wow - this is a passage that we all need to wrap up ourselves in - like a nice cozy soft weighted blanket.

Titus 3:4-7 (If you want to get this as a printable in May join me email list: [email protected] (email me to get on it!)
